Introductory Message

For the facilitator:


This module addresses the learning needs of pupils and those learners at
risk in order to help them overcome social and economic constraints, continue
education at home through home-school program of the learners and develop
harmonious relationships of children and parents thru tutorial while enhancing
basic skills of elementary learners’ scientific skills.

For the learners:


After identifying common weather instruments and learning how to use
them to measure different weather components, you are now ready to record
weather conditions in a weather chart and to make simple interpretations about
the weather as recorded in the said chart.
This module consists of eight (8) phases of sequence of learning.

Lesson WEATHER: Observing Weather


63 Conditions
Observing the weather condition will help us decide the kind of activities we
will do for the day. Each one of us must care about the weather because our
works depends on its condition for each day, knowing the weather condition
help us to be safe and prepare for dangers and calamities.
Temperature, humidity, precipitation, air pressure, wind speed and wind
direction are key observations of the atmosphere that help forecasters predict
the weather.

What is It? (Communication)

Hello kids! I am Mr. Fluff! Today I


will take you to the skies to observe
the different weather conditions that
we experience from time to time.
Come on! Let’s Fly!
We can tell the weather conditions by observing the direction and
speed of the wind. Wind is moving air caused by the unequal
heating of the earth s surface. When air is heated, it rises and its
density decreases and forms a low pressure. The cooler air
becomes denser, and moves from high temperature to lower
temperature.

Observing weather conditions can also be observed


with the condition of the clouds in the sky. By simply looking at
the sky we can tell what the weather would be. Clouds come in
many shapes, sizes and colors. They appear at different types and
heights too.

TYPES OF CLOUDS

CUMULUS CLOUDS NIMBUS CLOUDS


Appears on a fine sunny day. They They look dark and heavy. They
appear like fluffy cottons in the sky. bring heavy rain and thunderstorms.

STRATUS CLOUDS CIRRUS CLOUDS


These are low, gray clouds that look These are clouds that are high up in
like a blanket similar to fog. Can the sky that look like white and thin
trigger light precipitation. feathers.
Maybe you are curious what could be our
bases in telling the weather of the day?
This is the main reason why we need to
have a weather chart. A weather chart
contains weather components to determine
the weather. They are wind speed, wind
direction, temperature and sky condition.

Have you ever asked why Is it


important to know the weather
condition?
Well it is greatly important to record
accurate data so that we can interpret
the weather and can make necessary
preparations.

64 Interpretations About the Weather
During the ancient times, people immensely rely on the things they see on
the sky and movements of air to predict the weather. Today, due to vast
advancement of technology, people are more informed about the atmospheric
condition and weather disturbances that they may encounter.

What is It? (Communication)


Hello kids! I am Mr. Kim! Can
you guess where am I? I am
inside a room full of weather
maps and charts! Awesome isn’t
it? Come on! Let’s learn and have
fun in this exciting trip in the
world of weather forecasting!
Let’s go!

First things first! Let us know


what is a weather forecast.

A weather forecast is a
scientific prediction of what the
weather will be like in an hour,
tomorrow or in the next few
days. Studying weather
involves evaluating the
conditions of Earth’s
atmosphere.
Once the forecast is made, it is
then disseminated to radio and
tv stations to inform the people.

Let’s dug deeper to some things that makes weather forecasting possible.
Meteorology is the
study of the
atmosphere,
atmospheric
phenomena, and
atmospheric effects
on our weather.
.

Meteorologists use scientific


principles to observe, explain,
and forecast our weather.
They often focus on
atmospheric research or
operational weather
forecasting. They also
research the relationship
between the atmosphere and
Earth’s climates, oceans, and
biological life

In the Philippines, the


Philippine Atmospheric,
Geophysical and Astronomical
Services Administration
(PAGASA) is the government
agency tasked to monitor
weather and astronomy. It aims
to provide flood and typhoon
A simple weather chart contains necessary
information about the weather at a certain
area, date and time. These include the
temperature, sky condition/covering, wind
speed, wind direction and precipitation.

Weather charts are the fundamental basis


for weather  analysis and forecasts. They are
based on the data collected
by weather stations on the ground and on the
data recorded at high altitudes by probes and
satellites.
These are examples of weather charts from PAGASA.
IMPORTANCE OF WEATHER FORECASTING

Weather forecasting is very important. It helps people prepare


for a variety of weather conditions, some of which can be hazardous
to our health, others that can cause unsafe driving conditions, and
some that can cause major property damage. A forecast helps us to
make choices daily based on weather conditions. It can be as simple
as what clothing to wear or as complicated as stacking up on food and
supplies to prepare for extreme weather.
